I chose to use this image as it says a lot about my journey to become the musician I am today. The microphone resembles my main instrument, it expresses my passion and love for singing. The lyrics in the background shows how I react to musical situations, for example I was never classically trained as well as not having much knowledge on how to read music, as a result of this I would use lyrics and my ears to work out the arrangements of tracks. My iPad cover which reads 'KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON' is a representation of what I have to keep telling myself through my college course. Due to the fact that a lot of it was heavily theory based and most people being well knowledgeable of it I felt like an outcast at times as well as feeling like I did not have a clue what I was doing or that I wasn't a 'true' musician. By composing myself (excuse the pun) I was able to learn a great deal that I am now happily confident with.
